FAQ

All your questions about the 35% Vitamin C+ Perfecting Serum

Is it vegan?

Yes, this product is vegan and does not contain any animal derivate.

Why does this product have a grainy consistency?

This serum contains a high percentage of Vitamin C in a powder form and is suspended in a waterless base. When the product is not stored properly — for example, in a cold area — the formula can crystalize. Shake well before every use to have the formula return to its normal state.

Can the Vitamin C in this product exfoliate my skin?

The 35% Vitamin C+ Perfecting Serum does not exfoliate like acid. You can use this product in your AM skincare routine and an exfoliating acid in your PM routine.

Why does this serum have an oily texture?

This serum has a unique waterless base and, while it's oil-free, it may feel slightly oily. This feeling disappears about 30 seconds after application.

Is this pregnancy safe?

This product is safe for use during pregnancy. We always recommend to ask your doctor prior the use.

      PRODUCT INFORMATION

      Note: 35% Vitamin C Serum should be applied to damp skin for best results.


      Most Vitamin C serums today contain 15%-30% Vitamin C and are formulated with water. Our 35% Vitamin C+ Perfecting Serum is the world’s first and only waterless formula with a 35% concentration. 

      Comprised of 25% Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid + 10% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, this potent serum is supercharged with a next-generation antioxidant complex of Superoxide Dismutase + Glutathione, ensuring and strengthening the potency of the Vitamin C while providing additional benefits to the skin.

      This daily formula enhances radiance and forms a protective shield against environmental aggressors while paving the way for brighter, firmer skin. Over time, skin is plumper and glows with a brilliant smoothness.

      Its waterless base ensures that this formula stays clear and potent. Due to its unique waterless nature, it may feel 'oily' for a few seconds to some. However, it is oil-free, and the oily feeling will dissipate quickly as the serum absorbs into the skin.

      Vitamin C is a must-have ingredient for my own skincare routine. I love that the "35% Vitamin C+ Perfecting Serum" contains stable Vitamin C derivatives in a water-free base, ensuring that its antioxidant power reaches my skin. The formula absorbs seamlessly without feeling heavy or greasy. Vitamin C is one of the ingredients that I recommend for just about anyone looking to start a preventive skincare routine. It is a potent antioxidant that can protect the skin from free-radical damage and environmental stressors, and it can also improve the appearance of discoloration and hyperpigmentation. I love that the Allies of Skin "35% Vitamin C+ Perfecting serum" has stable, effective vitamin C derivatives that make it a great choice for someone who wants to start a preventive skincare routine.

      I find you can layer this lightweight formula with multiple serums and products without it feeling sticky, which can sometimes occur with other Vitamin C serums. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, so it’s most effective if you use it in the morning. I also like that it contains Glutathione which has the ability to reduce free radical damage. It works for all skin types, especially for those who have concerns of hyperpigmentation, melasma, sunspots, or for those who have years of damage due to a lot of sun exposure. When you have a lot of supercharged ingredients (a high concentration of multiple actives), based on the vehicle, a waterless formulation ensures you’re getting the highest delivery of all the actives.

      I wanted to solve the issue of oxidation and that meant making a waterless serum – something that hadn’t been achieved before with this high of a concentration of Vitamin C. No water = no browning, meaning it remains potent and fresh.

      35% Vitamin C+ Perfecting Serum

      I have pretty sensitive/ eczema-prone skin and regularly use other products with THD. This product gives a little initial redness on application but remarkably no prolonged irritation with use. Product absorbs nicely and goes well under sunscreen after a few mins of sitting. I also appreciate the packaging locking to keep air exposure minimized. Overall very impressed and enjoying this product.

      Amazing results

      This is my favorite vitamin c serum - it does not irritate my skin and it comes in a hydrating formula. It plays well with all other skin care and my skin is much brighter with daily use.

      it works

      I was afraid it feels heavy and greasy on my skin, but actually I like the texture. It took me some time to get used to the feelings and see the effect. It didn't break me out and it's a good thing. I use it only in the morning. I can see improvements in my skin texture and tone. It lights dark spots and makes skin glow. I don't know if it's this serum or retinol cream I use at night. Anyway, it works and it is a good stable vitamin C serum.
